Dick will be dearly missed!!! What a great guy, I was blessed to know Dick and his wife Joyce for many years. He was friends with my Dad Pete Conklin and my Grandfather Donald Alonzo Conklin. Dick would share many stories about my grandfather that passed away 53 years ago. I couldn't wait to talk with Dick. Everyone will miss him.I know Dick was in Heaven 1/2 hour before the devil knew he had passed!!!!God Bless
